Re: Dual Core Processor Problems
It might be time to reapply some thermal paste to your heat sink. I doubt your operating system is causing this. Also, try blowing out the heat sink and fan with a can of compressed air.

apv507,
Follow exploder's instructions. Do a good cleaning job on the machine. You would be surprised how much air flow restriction dust and dirt build-up over 3 years will cause.

Depends on the quality of the paste, but yes it could very easily be dead. High end pastes will usually last 5+ years if not run too hot for extended periods.The computer is only 3 years old, does thermal paste have that short of a life?
